Pricci09 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Will 255/35/18 tires rub on stock suspension? im going to be picking up some new wheels/tires soon and would like to run them before I get around to purchasing coil-overs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 that will depend on ur wheel width + offset.... I'd say coils before wheels/tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 It all depends on the offset of the wheel you will put them on and how much you are lowered. anything more than +45 offset will prolly rub on the struts and rear trailing arms and if you hit a bump, you will rub the fenders. you will want a nice fender roll/pull and coilovers with camber plates will aid fitment. you are picking a very aggressive tire size for the legacy. they will not fit easy. 245/35/18 is a more manageable size for stock suspension.

Pricci09 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 wheels are 18x8.5 +45 Im getting great deal on some wheels and the tires are already mounted. Im still on my winter setup and need to mount new wheels and tires asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 they should just clear in board. but you will most likely have to do somthing about the fenders. id reccomend getting coilovers and rear camber arms to help prevent the tires from rubbing on the fenders.

Pricci09 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 already have perrin control arms(not installed) and coilovers are coming soon. I just hope I can run the wheels untill then. thanks for the help whitetiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 NP, dont lower you car too much and def find a good fender roller to get you clearance. And post pics when you are done!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
